Scott’s eyes widened just a bit as he processed Sean’s words. It was clear Sean thought he was sticking his nose where it didn’t belong

Scott felt a little ticked off inside, but he kept on smiling. “You got it, Mr. Hayes. You’re totally right. I stepped out of line.”

Elysia glanced at Scott’s brown–nosing act and rolled her eyes in her mind. She thought he was such a wimp. “Mr. Hayes, I don’t accept your apology,” she said flatly.

Scott’s face turned a shade of gray. He figured Elysia was acting all high and mighty, not giving a second thought to how important the Hayes family was in Sivro.

He thought, ‘Does she really believe Sean came to apologize to her because he respects her? Please. It’s only because the Rosewood family’s got her back. If she thinks about messing with the Hayes family, I won’t go easy on her!”

“Elysia, what are you saying?” Scott scolded and then turned to Stan. “Elysia grew up in a small town. She’s a bit of a tomboy. and she speaks her mind without thinking. Mr. Hayes, don’t take it to heart.”

Sean gave him a sideways look, but he kept quiet.

Elysia let out a soft chuckle, saying, “What I’m getting at is that the Hayes family has already made up for Selena’s mess, so I don’t need to hold it against them.

Mr. Hayes, there’s no need for you to apologize, and there’s no way for me to accept it.”

Sean got what Elysia was hinting at and thought, So she knows everything that went down at the Hayes residence yesterday. Lucas was spot–on. Elysia from the Rosewood family must be connected to the master of the Arcanum House in some

He went on, “It’s only fair to make amends for mistakes, and an apology shows we’re sincere. Please accept it. Ms. Elysia Rosewood.

Noticing Elysia wasn’t speaking, Sean added, “To be straight with you, I’m here today ‘cause Lucas sent me on a mission. If you don’t accept, I’m gonna have a hard time telling Lucas I did my job.”

“Come on, Elysia, Scott chimed in, giving her a nudge. “Look how far Mr. Hayes has come. Don’t be stubborn”

Elysia’s eyebrows twitched a bit as she thought, Seems like I’m stuck accepting this apology today‘
